2002 Chambertins

1 Sep 2018:

The dinner described earlier also consisted of a pair of magnums of red Bourgogne wines:
2002 Chambertin, Trapet versus 2002 Chambertin Clos de Bèze, Bruno Clair


2002 Chambertin Clos de Bèze, Bruno Clair
Medium garnet. Mushroom, forest floor, violet, dried blossoms, dried raspberry. Balanced. Silky texture, suave, elegant, with forest floor note on finish. Drinking very well now and over next 5-6 years. 17.5/20


2002 Chambertin, Trapet
Less evolved on nose. Forest berries, sous bois, firmly structured with velvety texture and bold tannins that have mellowed. Lovely acidity, very youthful still. Ready to drink now, but will further develop over next 8-10 years. 18/20


2010 Puligny Montrachet Clos de La Mouchère, Henri Boillot
Pale lemon. Citrus, pear, nutty, smokey notes. Bright acidity, fresh and long finish. A very classy wine. (Note that not every bottle in this case was like this.) 17.5/20

I did not taste the other bottles in this photo - so no notes from me on them!!
